Incident Overview
A pilot and a passenger flew to Trading Bay for duck hunting. The pilot intended to land on a grassy flat where he had previously landed. However, heavy rain had occurred in the area before their arrival, leaving one to two inches of standing water on the landing area.
Landing Attempt and Go-Around
During the landing attempt, the pilot found that his brakes were not effective due to the standing water. He elected to perform a go-around. As the aircraft was lifting off to go around, it struck a stump. Despite the impact, the aircraft continued flying.
Control Difficulties and Subsequent Landing
After the collision with the stump, the pilot experienced difficulty controlling the aircraft. He decided to discontinue the go-around and instead landed on tidal flats. During that landing, the aircraft sustained further damage.
Outcome
The aircraft was damaged during the initial stump strike and the subsequent landing on the tidal flats. The pilot did not report any injuries. No additional information about the aircraft type, registration, or other details was provided in the source.
